This was the vendor I bought from, but he currently has no ads, and his website is no longer active.... however it says he was on here as of yesterday.

I was able to find an overhead LED by searching "festoon bulb LED" and cross-reerencing the AutoBone light PN with the LED equal.

LED festoon bulbs come in warm white or cool white. Warm would be in keeping with the original color. Festoon bulbs come in different lengths. Make sure you get the right length. Measure the existing, typically in metric measure. |
